Vulgar Pete Alonso comes into tonight’s game tied for 67th in MLB with FIVE home runs. He leads the team. In 2019 Pete finished May with 19 home runs. Pete is on pace to hit roughly 27 home runs this season, an Ike Davis like season.
But what really matters is Pete’s defense, as guys named Tim are all about Defensive Runs Saved. Yesterday, MLB changed an official ruling for the May 6th game between the Mets and Cardinals…In the bottom of the ninth, there were runners on first and second with one out…During Paul Goldschmidt’s at-bat, Pete Alonso was originally charged with a dropped fly error in foul territory…That has since been changed to no-play.
New York is 9-2 in May…The .818 winning percentage this month is tied for the best in the majors with Cleveland (also, 9-2)…New York’s .350 OBP this month is the third-highest in the majors behind the Dodgers (.364) and Tigers (.358)…The team’s nine wins in May matched their April total. Comedians ae said to be canceling tours so that they can sit with the t-shirt people, at least until the next four game losing streak.
The Mets did not make any roster moves, thus Media Goon did not go to Modell’s and did not buy any jerseys.
